We are looking for people to help us make the best Naruto Shippuuden fansub out there, and that can only be if we work with the best out there. So we are sending a call to those interested in helping us. If you've ever wanted to be on the inside of the process, or you have and just want to lend a hand then by all means drop us a line.

Things we need :

Translators - Will take the original Japanese dialog and make a text file with the English, will also handle signs and such

Script Editors - Will take the rough script and make into more casual English

Timers - will take scripts and do assigned sections of the show they are working on

Quality Checker - will check the work of others from grammar/spelling mistakes

Distribution - Will be one of the very first to get the files in turn will help seed the files over BitTorrent

We can use as many of each but for now want to concentrate on translators, the faster we can get it from Japanese to English the faster the entire process can begin. The next thing we need most are Timers. We split that up into assigned sections and it goes much quicker if 4 people work on it rather than just one.

The staff will also be encouraged to hag out in our IRC room as support to the other members, so if you can't work as a team member please don't bother joining us, we want everyone to be friends or at the very least work in a professional manner.

So if you think you have what it takes to help us out, drop by our IRC room and tell us, the link is up at the top and if you have chatzilla or mIRC32 installed it will take you right to the room. If you want to enter the information manually we are atServer - efnetchannel - #anime-bento

Thank you to all who apply, you are the future of Naruto Shippuuden fansubbing.

Additional - If you are reading this on my blog NYCPizza please go to and bookmark http://animebento.blogspot.com and look there for ALL future posts on Bleach and Naruto, they will no longer be posted here.

The much anticipated HD version of 91 is here, and this is true 720p HD. Our file is in DIVX for the widest possible compatibility with the array of devices out there, whether it be PS3/360 to set-top boxes. This was a conscious decision to not use h.264, now the file is a bit bigger than an equivalent h.264 file but the quality is the same, and lack of headaches from it not working on stuff makes it worth it.

Here is a v2 of 91 as the first one came out far less crisper than we would have liked. It's all about the source. Anyway this one is MUCH cleaner and the subs easier to read, and timing made even tighter. Get used to the colors it's here to stay. lol

And here it is, our very first release, now when you get this please watch, as if you won't, with a critical eye. We want to improve this fansub for everyone so I want everyone's input. As always the video is SD and the codec is DIVX, although an HD version will also be put out in time, but always expect the SD one first for the time being.

Well this week is gonna be different, from now on I will no longer be doing repacks of Naruto Shippuuden, but before you slit your throat let me explain what's going on.

Dattebayo has given up subbing Naruto because it has become licensed on a website named Crunchyroll. Now they will show it to you a few hours after it airs if you pay them like 6 dollars a month for the privilege. I say nuts to that, I want my anime free. heh So since DB isn't going to be doing it anymore and hence I will no longer have a source to repack I decided that I will begin fansubbing it on my own. That's right I will start a new fansub group, can I call one person a group?, and bring you naruto that way from now on.

So being that I am alone on this it's gonna take me a bit longer than the 24 hours it takes dattebayo, they have years of experience, and I am only on my first release. So I think a 2-3 day wait is not so bad, and you know I will have it for you each and every week.

Back from the holidays ready to serve up that anime you and I desire so much, here I bring you this week's Bleach from the good folks over at Dattebayo. As always all I have done is change the resolution from HD to SD and the codec from H.264 to DIVX, nothing else changed.

A young couple (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) has just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their interracial relationship. A stern, single father, this tightly wound LAPD officer (Samuel L. Jackson) has appointed himself the watchdog of the neighborhood. His nightly foot patrols and overly watchful eyes bring comfort to some, but he becomes increasingly harassing to the newlyweds. These persistent intrusions into their lives causes the couple to fight back.
